Wilson combat barrels

[DLT]

I’m debating buying one of wilson combats a.r. Grendel barrels. Surely a few of you on here are using them. Let’s hear a quick review so I can make a good decision on it. I do plan on reloading as I have a good bit of supplies for Grendel already. Thanks

Wilson barrels are a good button rifled barrel. Too many happy shooters to list.

Not Wilson barrels. I have one of those from urban in a bolt gun. Wilson combat ar barrels. Did you mean Wilson combat ?

They work very well. I use them a lot

Fairly accurate most times ?

Not Grendels, but the two Wilson Combat .223 Wylde match barrels I have experience with are both easily sub-MOA shooters with several loads.

I have been pleased with the 60 some I have chambered. My customer says they shoot good.

Yes way better than the typical AR barrel

Im pretty sure they said they make their own barrels now but either way you cant go wrong with a wilson blank chambered by wilson combat

I do believe you are correct. Looks like Wilson bought out Cooper and
put them in a new facility. Kind of like everything changes but stays the
same.

"Wilson bought out Cooper"

That's one way to "make" your own barrels!

This^^^^. I have one of these in 20” and they shoot very good. I have a 20” in BHW Barrel 3P rifling that is very impressive In 6.5 Grendel. I don’t think you can go wrong with the Wilson Combat barrels.

There is a couple of guys making U Tube videos that had some issues with a PSA 9mm pistol or SBr they told PSA how to fix it and PSA did not blow them off they looked into it and tried the recommended change. PSA asked if they wanted to tour the plant, they accepted. MAC took the tour and was suprised to be denied access to the PSA barrel making facility. They were told it is a totally new process and proprietary. The MAC crew shoot guns at the PSA range with the new barrels and said they are very accurate. Has anyone heard of this new process? In the tour MAC learned that PSA makes just about all the parts to their guns and quality has gone way up. MAC stands for Military Armaments Channe. I would be very interested in knowing if this new process is as good as they claim.

I have and owned many Wilson Combat barrels in 5.56, 223 Wylde and 308win... they have all been hammers. I personally believe WC AR barrels are one of the best values out there... buy with confidence

Well. I have one it’s a 20” heavy 223 wylde. It hammers also. Figured I’d take in a few reviews before I jumped on a 16” grendel mid weight. Thanks to all Purchased it last night.
